James Swabey is one of our young people who is working with YWAM. Having served as part of a team in Uganda he is now based at Holmstead Manor, in West Sussex.

Holmsted Manor is the oldest YWAM Training Centre in England and the third oldest in the entire world!  Holmsted’s history and legacy are rich and the story of how God brought it into existence is truly remarkable as noted in Loren Cunningham’s book, “Daring to Live on the Edge”.  It has been a place that has continued to train apostolic leaders and still attracts people who are called to pioneer today. Over the years, Holmsted Manor has continuously sent out pioneers all over the world and much of the YWAM work that has been started in many nations and regions can trace its roots back to Holmsted Manor.

Since its establishment as a YWAM training centre in September of 1975, Holmsted Manor is a bit older, but there is a freshness that is felt as you walk through its doors! Intention and purpose to all that’s going on is obvious, contagious faith is evident, and a passion and pursuit for God and all He has for the world is simply infectious.

James is involved in pioneering outreach to young people in the west Sussex area. He regularly works in schools with fellow workers and in youth clubs. He is also involved in a lunchtime club for primary school kids. He is based at Holmstead Manor all year round, although he makes regular visits back to Plume to visit his family and keep us up to date with what is happening in his ministry.
